  • When you close your eyes and go to sleep
    And it's down to the sound of a heartbeat
    I can hear the things that you're dreamin' about
    When you open up your heart and the truth comes out

    You tell me that you want me
    You tell me that you need me
    You tell me that you love me
    And I know that I'm right
    'Cause I hear it in the night

    I hear the secrets that you keep
    When you're talkin' in your sleep
    I hear the secrets that you keep
    When you're talkin' in your sleep

    When I hold you in my arms at night
    Don't you know you're sleepin' in a spotlight
    And all your dreams that you keep inside
    You're tellin' me the secrets that you just can't hide

    You tell me that you want me
    You tell me that you need me
    You tell me that you love me
    And I know that I'm right
    'Cause I hear it in the night

    I hear the secrets that you keep
    When you're talkin' in your sleep
    I hear the secrets that you keep
    When you're talkin' in your sleep
    I hear the secrets that you keep
    When you're talkin' in your sleep
    I hear the secrets that you keep
    When you're talkin' in your sleep

    When you close your eyes, and you fall asleep
    Everything about you is a mystery

    You tell me that you want me
    You tell me that you need me
    You tell me that you love me
    And I know that I'm right
    'Cause I hear it in the night

    I hear the secrets that you keep
    When you're talkin' in your sleep
    I hear the secrets that you keep
    When you're talkin' in your sleep
    I hear the secrets that you keep
    When you're talkin' in your sleep
    I hear the secrets that you keep
    When you're talkin' in your sleep
    I hear the secrets that you keep
    When you're talkin' in your sleep
    I hear the secrets that you keep Writer/s: George Canler, Jimmy Marinos, Mike Skill, Peter Solley, Walter Palamarchuk

  • Esskayess from Dallas, TxI always paired this song with Night Ranger's 'When You Close Your Eyes (Do You Dream About Me).' Fun to precede this song with that one.
